British Interest Group of Wisconsin and Illinois

BIGWILL  a genealogical society of individuals who are interested in their British Isles ancestry  invites you to join their society. We are dedicated to helping all members trace their ancestry in England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the Isle of Man, and the Channel Islands.

Some of the benefits of membership:

 Regular and special meetings dealing with different aspects of research in the British Isles
 Support and networking for all levels of researchers
 Bi-monthly newsletter to keep you up-to-date on events and resources which can help in your research
(Newsletters are normally sent to members as an email attachment;
for a small additional fee, a member can receive a printed & mailed paper copy of each newsletter.)
 Free entries in the BIGWILL Register, a growing database of members’ interests

The basic annual cost of membership is $25 or $34, depending on whether or not you want to receive the newsletter in printed form in the mail. Other options are explained on the membership application. Click here to be able to view and print the BIGWILL membership application.

Click here to access the online system for dues payment, which accepts either a PayPal account or most major credit cards. The system uses pull-down menus  you can select one item from as many menus as needed before pressing the View Cart button. The next few screens should be fairly obvious as to how to respond.BIGWILL does not have a practical way to automatically keep members apprised of their membership expiration date. If you are uncertain about your membership status, please send a query to

Al Munn, the BIGWILL membership chair.
